[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids whose parent are interested in Deal and/or Wilson stay at Shepherd through 5th. Folks who always planned on private school — including high SES in-bound families — still leave.

[b]Deal / Wilson is not necessarily the first choice of African American parents who live in 16th St Hts or Colonial Village[/b]. [/quote]

I know Wilson isn't always a first choice of SP/CV folks based on parents I've spoken with, but I thought Deal was viewed more positively?  I know a couple of neighbors who've sent their kids to Deal, followed by private, application school, etc. for high school.  However, I'm a parent of a much younger kid, so I probably don't have my finger on the pulse.[/quote]

P.S. I'd add that it might change over the next 10 years?  Private tuition is a lot more these days than in years past, and most people in SP tend to stay in the neighborhood (vs. moving to MoCo, etc.).  Some younger AA families have mentioned that they plan to stay at Shepherd all the way through, and then send their kids to Deal and Wilson.[/quote]
